    Liyang, Chu camp.

    Yan Liang and the ministers of Chu State all laughed when they heard the news of Liu Bei's withdrawal.

    Liu Bei, who had been stationed in Yin for five months and watched for a long time, finally retreated. This also meant that he finally gave up on Li Yang and Guan Yu.

    "After all, Guan Yu and Liu Bei are sworn brothers, but Liu Bei abandoned Guan Yu just like that. I really don't know how Guan Yu will feel after hearing the news." Pang Tong said with emotion.

    Yan Liang snorted coldly and said disapprovingly: "Guan Yu regards Liu Bei as his brother, but Liu Bei regards Guan Yu as just a chess piece that can be discarded at any time."

    In the past history, Guan Yu fought to the death with waves of Cao's troops in Jingzhou, but Liu Bei enjoyed the honor of the King of Hanzhong in Chengdu and did not send a single soldier to help. Until Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, Guan Yu was always there.  He fought against Cao Cao and Sun Quan alone.

    Liu Bei didn¡¯t save Guan Yu at that time, so why not abandon Guan Yu now?

    "The reason why Liu Bei withdrew his troops was obviously because he knew Liyang was beyond salvation and wanted to retreat to Yecheng. When our army marched north, he would use light cavalry to attack our grain roads." Fa Zheng's words revealed Liu Bei's plot.

    Yan Liang waved his hands and said, "We'll talk about the future later. The most important thing right now is how to capture Li Yang."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    At this time, Pang Tong stroked his beard and said: "The reason why Guan Yu defends Liyang and even eats human flesh is because he believes that Liu Bei will come to rescue him sooner or later. If Guan Yu and the defenders of Liyang know that Liu Bei has abandoned them, their hearts will definitely collapse. This is beneficial to  Our army breaks the city."

    Yan Liang nodded slightly: "The Prime Minister is absolutely right. It seems that it is time to open a hole in the iron barrel camp."

    The military meeting had been decided, and Yan Liang immediately gave the order.  He ordered the northern wall to be demolished and the siege removed, opening a gap for Guan Yu.

    Yan Liang's move was, of course, so that the news of Liu Bei's retreat to Yecheng could penetrate the siege and reach the ears of the Han army in Liyang, so as to undermine their fighting spirit.

    And Yan Liang is outside the gap.  On the only way to Yecheng from the north, an ambush was set up, as long as Guan Yu and his army wanted to escape.  Yan Liang surrounded and killed him on the spot.

    At the same time, Yan Liang also issued an order. If Guan Yu abandons the city and breaks out of the siege, all the ambushes will be surrounded and killed. If it is just a small group of troops sent by Guan Yu to ask for help.  Then let them pass.

    A few days later.  The wall outside the north city was demolished, and the Han army at the top of the city could finally see the light of day again.

    On the top of the city, Guan Yu personally witnessed the entire process of the Chu army dismantling the wall and withdrawing the northern encirclement. This made Guan Yu feel both excited and suspicious.

    Guan Yu was immediately in the military mansion and summoned the generals to discuss matters.

    "The Yan thief suddenly withdrew from Beiwei. I wonder what tricks this dog thief is playing. What do you think?" Guan Yu looked around the generals and asked.

    Generals, you look at me, and I look at you.  No idea.

    "Chen Changwen, what do you think?" Guan Yu had to turn his attention to the only think tank in his army.

    Chen Qun pondered for a long time, then cupped his hands and said: "Back to the general, I thought that Yan Liang might have been unable to attack Liyang for a long time, so he withdrew from the northern siege and opened an opening for our army. He wanted us to abandon the city and break out of the siege. In this way,  Only then can he successfully capture Liyang.¡±

    Chen Qun¡¯s guess was approved by most of the generals.

    In recent months, the Chu army has been attacking for many days and failed to capture Liyang at the cost of huge casualties. Under such circumstances, it is naturally very possible to open the door and hope that the Han army will break through and capture the city of Liyang.

    Chen Qun's view was agreed. At this time, many generals came to Guan Yu and proposed to take advantage of this opportunity to lead his army to break out.

    "I have already said that the Emperor has a decree and ordered us to defend Liyang. Without the Emperor's decree, I will never abandon Liyang!" Guan Yu shouted and categorically rejected everyone's suggestions.

    All the generals trembled, bowing their heads and not daring to say anything.

    In silence, Guan Xing said: "My father is determined to defend Liyang, and we will naturally follow him. However, the situation in Liyang is so bad now. I thought that my father should immediately send people to ask for help from the emperor. If the emperor does not lead his army to attack Liyang City, sooner or later the city of Liyang will be destroyed."  Will also fall."

    Guan Yu frowned and fell silent.

    Guan Xing is right. Now that all the people in Liyang City have been killed, even the human flesh and military rations will not last long. When the human flesh is gone, Liyang City will fall into the hands of Yan Liang.

    After a moment of silence, Guan Yu looked around at the generals and said, "Which of you is willing to risk leaving the city to seek help from the Emperor?"

    "Xiaguan is willing to break out of the city and ask for help from the emperor." As soon as Guan Yu finished speaking, Chen Qun was the first to stand up.

      Immediately afterwards, the other generals also expressed their generosity and expressed their willingness to venture out of the city to ask for help.

    Seeing the generals being so active, Guan Yu not only was not relieved, but his brows became more and more serious.

    He knew very well that the main purpose of Chen Qun's group of people generously asking for help from the emperor was not the main purpose. What they wanted in their hearts was to use the name of asking for help to successfully escape the hell on earth that is Liyang City.

    ¡°Huh, what a bunch of spineless cowards!

    Guan Yu had a sarcastic look on his face, but turned his gaze to Guan Xing and said loudly: "It is extremely dangerous to break out of the city. Xing'er, I will leave this important task to you."

    Guan Xing was stunned, but he didn't expect that Guan Yu would ask him to go out of the city to ask for help. He was stunned for a moment, but he had no choice but to comply.

    Chen Qun and others all sighed secretly, with regret in their eyes.

    They also knew that Guan Yu did not trust them either, fearing that they might escape under the pretext of asking for help.

    And Guan Xing uses Guan Yu¡¯s son, and Guan Yu lets his son go out of the city, so he doesn¡¯t have to worry that Guan Xing will abandon his father and never return.

    When the plan was decided that day, Guan Yu assigned Guan Xing five hundred elite soldiers and ten war horses, and ordered him to surround the city under the night sky.

    All the horses in Liyang City had been eaten long ago. Guan Yu deliberately left twenty horses uneaten just for the urgent need. At this critical moment of asking for help, Guan Yu did not dare to be stingy anymore and handed over half of the horses to Guan Xing in one go.  .

    It was night, Guan Xing led five hundred Han troops, quietly left Liyang, and fled all the way through the gap in Beiwei.

    Guan Xingyuan was worried that he would be blocked by the Chu army on the way, but he didn't know that Yan Liang was looking forward to him meeting Liu Bei and bringing Liu Bei's ruthless decision back to Liyang City.

    All the way north, Guan Xing was surprised to find that he did not encounter a single soldier of the Chu army to stop him.

    At dawn, Guan Xing finally escaped from Liyang.

    Guan Xing, who had escaped and ascended to heaven, was so ecstatic that he did not dare to stop for a moment, and headed straight for Yecheng.

    A few days later, the exhausted Guan Xing finally arrived in Yecheng.

    At this time, Liu Bei had not returned to Beijing for a long time. He was currently in the palace, making out with his queen Liu.

    When Liu Bei learned that Guan Xing had returned and asked for an audience, he couldn't help being shocked. He never expected that someone in Liyang, which was surrounded like a dead city, could escape back to Yecheng.

    Liu Bei was surprised. He did not receive Guan Xing in the main hall, but ordered Guan Xing to meet him in the imperial study.

    In the side hall, anxious Guan Xing waited for a long time before Liu Bei entered the room leisurely.

    As soon as he saw Liu Bei entering, Guan Xing knelt down and cried: "I pay homage to your majesty. Liyang City has been besieged for half a year. My father and the soldiers in the city are on the verge of despair. Please send troops quickly."  "Save, if your Majesty doesn't send troops, Liyang City will be captured by the Chu army."

    "My dear nephew, get up quickly." Liu Bei stepped forward and helped Guan Xing up kindly.

    "I know that Yunchang and you and other generals have all suffered. To be honest, I am thinking about sending troops to rescue you all the time." Liu Bei sighed.

    Hearing this, Guan Xing felt relieved a lot.

    At this time, Liu Bei said curiously: "I remember that the food and grass in Liyang City is only enough for less than half a year. Now that the city has been besieged for a long time, I wonder how Yunchang solves the problem of food and grass?"

    "This" Guan Xing looked ashamed, hesitated for a moment, and had to tell the truth.

    When Liu Bei heard Guan Xing say that Guan Yu relied on eating the human flesh of the people in the city to survive, the original rumors were finally confirmed. The expression of concern on Liu Bei's gray face gradually became solemn.

    "Alas, since I raised the army, I have relied on benevolence and righteousness to win the support of the people of the world. Now Yun Chang's move, although it is a last resort, is in the end alas~~"

    Liu Bei sighed endlessly. Although he did not explicitly accuse Guan Yu, the implication of his complaint was obvious.

    Liu Bei was blaming Guan Yu for eating human flesh and damaging his reputation for benevolence and righteousness.

    Hearing Liu Bei's secret words of resentment, Guan Xing felt a dull pain in his heart.

    To be honest, Guan Xing did not agree with Guan Yu's practice of listening to human flesh. He was even a little ashamed of what Guan Yu did.

    But Guan Xing didn¡¯t know that his father did this not to defend Liyang City for Liu Bei.

    For the sake of Liu Bei's empire, Guan Yu even did not hesitate to damage his own reputation. His loyalty to Liu Bei was truly unparalleled.

    But now, Liu Bei actually complained about Guan Yu. How could this not make Guan Xing feel chilled?

    Although his heart was cold, Guan Xing did not dare to show it at all. He only said silently: "Everything my father did was unfair."This is just to defend Liyang City. I don¡¯t know when your Majesty plans to send troops to rescue Liyang?  "

    "Well" Liu Bei hesitated.

    In the earlier discussion with Zhuge Liang, he decided to abandon Liyang City, otherwise he would not withdraw his troops from Dangyin back to Yecheng.

    " What if he hadn't expected that the Chu army would withdraw from the northern siege and let Guan Xing come to Yecheng for help.

    At this time, Liu Bei could only tell Guan Xing that he planned to abandon Liyang and let him go back to Liyang and ask Guan Yu to lead his troops to break out.

    Just when Liu Bei was about to tell the truth, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

    "If Chang Yun breaks out of the siege and comes back, how should I treat him?"

    In Liu Bei's mind, Guan Yu's unruly expression appeared, he recalled Guan Yu's actions of disobeying his orders, and Zhuge Liang's reminders about "Guan Yu being difficult to control" rang in his ears.

    All kinds of things made Liu Bei's eyes gradually flash with an imperceptible coldness.

    After pondering for a long time, Liu Bei secretly took a breath and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, don't worry, Yunchang is my brother. How can I not care about brotherly loyalty? I will soon send troops to save Liyang City." (Unfinished)  to be continued¡­¡­)
